ENUM IWL_LINK_CTX_MODIFY_FLAGS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, so this whole page is about enum iwl_link_ctx_modify_flags — it's a real one from the kernel API manual and it's basically a little checklist the driver hands to the firmware going "hey girl, these are the fields I'm changing in &iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd". No cap, that's the whole vibe. It's a bitmask situation, and each flag = "this chunk of the struct got modified". 💖

✨ NAME ✨

enum iwl_link_ctx_modify_flags — literally just here to indicate to the fw what fields are being modified in &iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum iwl_link_ctx_modify_flags {
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_ACTIVE ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_RATES_INFO ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_PROTECT_FLAGS ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_QOS_PARAMS ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BEACON_TIMING ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_HE_PARAMS ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BSS_COLOR_DISABLE ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_EHT_PARAMS ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BANDWIDTH ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_UHR_PARAMS ,
    LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_ALL

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so here's the roster, one by one, no skipping, we're doing all of them 💅

  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_ACTIVE — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::active
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_RATES_INFO — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::cck_rates, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::ofdm_rates, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::cck_short_preamble, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::short_slot
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_PROTECT_FLAGS — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::protection_flags
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_QOS_PARAMS — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::qos_flags, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::ac,
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BEACON_TIMING — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::bi, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::dtim_interval, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::dtim_time, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::dtim_tsf, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::assoc_beacon_arrive_time. ⚠️ heads up: this flag can be set only once after assoc.
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_HE_PARAMS — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::htc_trig_based_pkt_ext, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::rand_alloc_ecwmin, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::rand_alloc_ecwmax, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::trig_based_txf, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::bss_color, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::ndp_fdbk_buff_th_exp, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::ref_bssid_addr, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::bssid_index, iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::frame_time_rts_th. 🦋 This flag can be set any time.
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BSS_COLOR_DISABLE — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::bss_color_disable
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_EHT_PARAMS — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::puncture_mask. ⚠️ this one only flies if the MAC that this link relates to has eht_support set to true. Also — plot twist — no longer used since _VER_3 of this command. 💀
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_BANDWIDTH — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::modify_bandwidth. This one's the "let me ask nicely" flag: it requests RX OMI to the AP to modify bandwidth of this link. 👑
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_UHR_PARAMS — covers iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::npca_params and iwl_link_ctx_cfg_cmd::prio_edca_params. Since _VER_7. ✨
  • LINK_CONTEXT_MODIFY_ALL — set all above flags. the "select all" checkbox of this enum, main character energy fr fr 🌈

kay that's the whole page, you ate that 🍓 okay bye bestie — this one came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yes it's truncated like that in the footer, it's giving mystery), dated October 2026, and the page it signs off as is enum iwl_lin...modify_flags(9) 💜✨
